Harmony Place sits within the Healthcare Center at Parke Ridge and brings a comfortable, homelike setting where folks can get the help they need while still living as independently as they're able, and they've got trained staff on hand day and night to lend a hand with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, moving from bed to chair, or managing medicines, and there's a dedicated Special Needs Unit for folks who need a secure space or some extra medical help. The place is built with safety in mind, like having emergency call systems in each suite and support for those with memory issues like Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia, plus the kind of security and routine that helps prevent confusion and wandering. The property has both indoor and outdoor common areas where people gather for activities, socializing, or just enjoying the day, and the landscaping is set up so it's nice to walk around or sit outside for fresh air. People can choose from different living setups-studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, or semi-private units-with private suites that can fit individuals or couples, and there's Wi-Fi and everything's handicap accessible.
Meals get made right there with a chef preparing three solid, nutritious options each day, including choices for vegetarian and kosher diets, and everyone eats in a spacious, sunny dining area that feels welcoming rather than clinical. Housekeeping and laundry are handled each week, so residents don't have to bother with chores unless they want to, and if someone wants a trim or perm, there's a beautician on site. Harmony Place handles a range of support, so seniors can get help with personal care, medication management, diabetic monitoring-but folks do need to handle any incontinence needs themselves. The staff splits care into light, medium, and heavy, so whatever a person needs, they've got a way to help. There's memory care for dementia, assisted living when daily tasks get tough, and skilled nursing care if health problems need more attention, along with short-term rehab stays and respite when a regular caregiver needs a break, and even hospice support through outside providers.
Active and social folks can join activities and wellness programs that get offered on a regular basis-social, educational, and exercise events to keep busy and meet others, with devotional opportunities onsite and off, though the specific activities on any given day might change. If somebody wants to head out for errands, there's scheduled transportation, and pharmacy services are available for convenience. Harmony Place is open to people age 55 and up, and the focus they keep is on treating everyone with dignity and respect, giving just the right amount of help while encouraging people to enjoy as much independence and comfort as possible, all in a place where the staff makes an effort to be kind, joyful, and welcoming, so there's a good feeling all around without any unnecessary fuss or pressure.
